How to Convert Litre per minute to Cubic kilometer per secondCubic kilometer per second
1 l/min = 1.6666666666666667e-14 km3/s
1 km3/s = 60000000000000 l/min
Example: convert 86 l/min to km3/s:
86 l/min = 86 x 1.6666666666666667e-14 = 1.4333333333333334e-12 km3/s
Litre per minute
Definition: Liters per minute (L/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time, measured in liters per minute.
History/origin: The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume. Using 'per minute' provides a convenient timescale for many practical applications.
Current use: L/min is a very common unit for measuring fluid flow rates in diverse applications, including medical equipment (e.g., oxygen concentrators), automotive systems, and home appliances (e.g., water softeners).
Cubic kilometer per second
Definition: A cubic kilometer per second (km3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic kilometer of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure extremely large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The unit combines the cubic kilometer, a very large unit of volume, with 'per second,' indicating an extremely high rate of flow. It's primarily used in geological or astrophysical contexts where vast quantities are involved.
Current use: Km3/s is used in fields such as astrophysics (e.g., measuring material ejected from celestial events), geology (e.g., estimating the volume of volcanic eruptions), and extremely large scale fluid dynamic modeling.
